“Crunchylist”?!?!

By: Krow Smith | @coffeewithkrow​ There I was, casually perusing Crunchyroll looking for anime to watch (as one does). Merrily, I read descriptions, judged cover art, and made my assessments. When I was suddenly struck with waves of confusion as I was distracted since I couldn’t find the “Add To Watchlist” button. “What was so distracting?” You conveniently ask. Well! It was an option I … Continue reading “Crunchylist”?!?!

Why ODDTAXI’s Episode 4 is a Masterpiece (Analysis)

By: Beata Garrett  | @zhongxia246​ When ODDTAXI began airing in April last year, I’ll admit that I wrote it off as a copy of Aggretsuko.

Belle – Please Erase the Last Half of This Movie From My Mind (Review)

By: Beata Garrett | @zhongxia246​ Belle won me over for the first hour with its gorgeous visuals, nuanced take on the power of the internet, and soundtrack. At least, that was until I saw the turn it was taking in the latter half and thought, Please no, don’t do this. It’s hard to reconcile my overwhelmingly positive feelings for the first half with the dismay I … Continue reading Belle – Please Erase the Last Half of This Movie From My Mind (Review)

Saiyuki Reload: Zeroin – We Need More Goku (Review/Analysis)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting  Saiyuki is a series near and dear to my heart. The original anime and its several seasons, movie, and OVAs are all top tear action anime with deep stories that I obsessed over in high school (and now, as an adult). So, when I scrolled through MAL’s (MyAnimeList) Winter 2022 anime lists last season, I literally screamed in excitement … Continue reading Saiyuki Reload: Zeroin – We Need More Goku (Review/Analysis)
